No Can't, you can only use them on a classical guitar. I have one before I brought my Jasmine S35 Acoustic Guitar here. I say if going use Nylon String, which be more softer on your finger tips, then using steel string. I subject you to check out all of the Classical Guitar here on Amazon, I see some great deal on them. At reasonable price. All maker brand. I love my Classical Guitar more then I love Acoustic Guitar. But only time I play my Acoustic, is when I use my amplifier with my MultiStomp MS-50G, It put out many great sound effect. Check it out on youtube.

We'll, you might be able to get a decent sound with nylons, but if you are a beginner, then what you really want to do is use the default strings to build up the strength and skin on the tips of your left hand fingers. It took me a solid 2 weeks to get hard finger tips for guitar. Hope this helped.

This model is for steel string guitars. Although it would work on a nylon string guitar, the EQ voicing is not designed for nylon strings so it will not sound as natural. For a nylon string guitar, use the Anthem SL model, which is specifically voiced for nylon strings:L.R. Baggs ANTHEM-SL Acoustic Guitar Pickup

Congrats on receiving one! They look steel, but they are nylon. Well at least mine were nylon, you can tell by the sound if you're familiar with steel string as well as the end's near the sound hole. For new players, steel string "cut" into your fingers much more than nylon. Have fun!

This is very subjective, and also varies from one instrument to another. In general, avoid light gauge strings if your after "warm low mellow". Try D'Adario "bluegrass" strings - they sound great on some guitars, particularly for pickers.

You will have to re-string it backwards but it would work. if this his first guitar , use nylon strings and not steel ones. ( easier on the fingers). order strings and re-string when it arrives.

Bought this as a gift for my brother, so here is his resply to your question: It won't work on nylon strings, on an acoustic steel string guitar it will work at about 10%, you need the feedback on the pickups on an electric guitar to really get the effect of the ebow. It essentially makes the string vibrate at a high frequency and that frequency and sound then makes a "reverse" or sustained reverse sound of the note and or sequence of notes you are playing.Granted I am SLOWLY learning how to use mine, but as far as I am aware, it will not do anything on nylon strings, and even the "metal" coated E,A,D strings will give little to no real reflection of the ebow.

I think that the strings are ok. Any way, because I am a beginner I di not feel confortable with these strings so I got the Martin Silk & Steel strings, and they feel great in my fingers!

I believe the strings that come with the guitar are composite core with brass wrapping. I suggest buying new strings, as a few of mine had some damage, and were already stretched from being on the guitar, out of tune.

good beginner guitar! i would change the strings the originals aren't that great... the strings are higher off the fret board than most of my other guitars but it isn't too noticeable while playing

Yes, the guitar comes with strings, but this is not a quality instrument. I returned mine and bought a different brand.

No, nylon strings will not work on this guitar. The nut slots are cut for steel strings and the guitar is designed and braced for steel strings. While you could install nylon strings, they would not vibrate the top sufficiently to sound good. If you want a nylon string guitar there are plenty of inexpensive classical guitars available. Those will be designed to sound good with nylon strings.

This is a classical guitar so yes it has nylon strings. There is no maintenance manual with order. You can replace these strings with any other nylon strings you like. You should not replace with steel strings. This guitar needs an amplifier for the sound. There is no sound hole and must be amplified. Hope this helps with your decision.

Yes, nylon strings are MUCH easier on the fingers. The strings are also farther apart, which can be good if you do not have small fingers.

If it's a nylon strung classical, don't do it. These would end up ripping the bridge of your guitar off - they just aren't made to handle the strength of steel strings. As to steel string acoustics, I'm not sure. It depends on the guitar. I wouldn't risk it.

No , I don't think so. And nylon strings are much easier on the fingers, especially for a young person or someone who is just learning. I bought this for my granddaughter who is seven. I play a full sized classical guitar with nylon strings. I prefer the mellow sound of nylon strings.
